RB Leipzig entertain Young Boys at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig in their final group game of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (December 13).
The hosts are second in Group G with nine points while Young Boys are third with four points, so the outcome of the game will have no impact on the standings.
Leipzig suffered a 3-2 loss to reigning champions Manchester City in their previous outing, squandering a two-goal lead in the second half after Loïs Openda's brace.
Young Boys, meanwhile, registered their first win of the campaign on matchday five, beating Red Star Belgrade 2-0. Kosta Nedeljković's own goal got the ball rolling in the eighth minute before Lewin Blum doubled the lead in the 29th minute.
